Re: If you've ever considered a career in IT
That's just about all of corporate life really....
But TBH, most of the time I sat with an "expert" and was told something wasnt possible, in which they were later proved wrong was astounding. It may not be red/green in reality, but in their opinion it was....

Re: If you've ever considered a career in IT
well there is 2 sides, because you got unqualified people saturating the IT world nowadays because demand outweighs the talent. So the experts are about a dumbass as all the "Managers" reaching into the cookie jar and making bank off the others to be just as stupid. 2 layer rule is starting to be in play a whole lot more nowadays. If you dont' know what I mean by that is you can't have any success anywhere if you have 2 layers of stupid on the org chart. If you have 2 levels of stupid you will have failure and it cannot maintain itself, if the higher or lower rung is strong they can bail out said tier.JTChiTown wrote:That's just about all of corporate life really....

Re: If you've ever considered a career in IT
Nice! Reminds me of the time I was called as the "subject matter expert" and the people in the field wasted over a week trying to fix some test equipment when I told them day one the problem was on the aircraft. When they finally gave up on the test equipment and replaced the box I told them to on the aircraft low and behold the problem went away!

Re: If you've ever considered a career in IT
I just had a meeting like it just yesterday...
Customer: "Hey, we need a solution for this problem".
Manager: "I don't have one."
Customer: "But we need one."
Manager: "I don't have one."
Customer: "Who does."
Manager: "I don't."
Customer: "What do we do next?"
Manager: "Escalate"
Customer: "Escalate to who? Your management?"
Manager: "No, I'm representing my management."
Customer: "Then who do we escalate to?"
Manager: "Your CIO needs to fight this out with my CIO."
Customer: "OK, I guess we are done here."
Manager: "I guess so."
Most unproductive meeting all month so far and that's saying a lot.

Re: If you've ever considered a career in IT
Had one over the last two weeks, different candidate suppliers for the same thing, not in the same room at the same time:
Us: We want you to build this thing. We have a particular constraint that is important
Supplier1: But that constraint will make it more difficult for us
Us: Um, ok. You don't like it but is it possible? What would the impact be?
Supplier1: We won't say it is absolutely impossible, but we don't think you understand how expensive and time consuming it will be and we think you are over-reacting with the constraint. Trust us, just do it our way.
Supplier2: Sure, we can do it your way, no problem, this is how [shows valid architecture] and it won't cost any more.
